More Alan Wake Coming Your Way
Matias Myllyrinne, Remedy head honcho, has gone on record stating that the upcoming Alan Wake's American Nightmare will not be the last you hear from Alan Wake.
In an interview with Joystiq at DICE 2012, Myllyrinne stated that the developer still has plans for the franchise.
“We’re crowd pleasers, we’ll do what the audience wants, ’cause usually that’s the good business move as well,” he said.
Myllyrinne also stated that the digital route could prove to be Alan Wake's new mode of transportation for the foreseeable future. “I’m loving the digital [distribution] side and we’ll see how that evolves, but just being able to give people quick access to bite-size chunks of gaming is maybe more fun than working for years and years — taking the phone offline and closing the shutters– at least, this way, you’re able to react much more quickly to people’s desires and wishes.”
He stated that any future Alan Wake titles would have to depend on how well American Nightmare and Alan Wake PC sell, but Myllyrinne is not worried. “I don’t know. I don’t know if that would dictate it. If it bombs [laughs], then that’s certainly a signal, but we’re fairly confident that it’ll do well. We’ll certainly continue with Wake. Right now we’re focusing on getting the PC out next week, then getting American Nightmare out.
“And it’s too early to talk about what our next move is, but we’ve obviously put things into motion.”
Alan Wake PC is out next week on Steam and on March 2 through retail. Alan Wake's American Nightmare is out on February 22 through Xbox LIVE Arcade.
